Jim Jacobs who wrote ‘Grease’? Jim Jacobs who used me as his model for Sandy,” Mills said.“I didn’t know it at the time but I found out years later – I was the original Sandy.”Both Mills and Jacobs are Chicago natives and attended Taft High School together.Jacobs’ musical — which he co-wrote with his friend Warren Casey — has spawned several musical productions including the iconic film version starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as well as an upcoming prequel called “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.” In 2010, Jacobs revealed the idea for “Grease” came to him while hanging out with friends from a local theatre group.
